What you do depends on what is printing.

If you are seeing advertisements / printer-spam, you need to secure your network to prevent these people from using your printer.

Unwanted Flyers or Ads on the Printer

• HP Printers - Printer Prints Unwanted Advertisements (Spam)
• Minimum Security Settings for Printers

If the job that is printing is one that you recognize as having been submitted previously, that job may be stuck in the queue.

Consider:

 Print Jobs Stuck in Print Queue (Windows)

Print Jobs Stuck in Print Queue (Mac)

Example

Print Queue / Service Reset

Stop print service, clear the print folder, Start print service

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services

Scroll down, find, Right-Click, and Stop Print Spooler Service

Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)

Navigate to the folder and Delete files from C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

Start Print Spooler Service
